What matters this gameweek?
Scottish Premiership Gameweek 6 is scheduled for 19–20 September, with five Saturday games and Celtic–Rangers on Sunday. The official SPFL fixtures confirm the card. Tuesday's catch-ups changed the evidence: Falkirk beat Hearts 2–1, Kilmarnock won 1–0 at Hibernian and Aberdeen won 4–0 at Motherwell. Those results leave Celtic first on 18 points, Rangers second on 13 and Hearts third on 12; Aberdeen move level with Dundee and St Johnstone on seven, while Falkirk and Kilmarnock climb from the bottom two positions they held before kickoff. The SPFL results page remains the primary check. This guide now contains the complete exact-score card after the operational fixtures and reviewed model output became available. No unverified availability claim is included. Scores will be added only after provider mapping and evidence checks, then preserved in the public accuracy record.

What the catch-up matches changed
Hearts missed the chance to close on Celtic and remain third on 12 points after losing at Falkirk. Aberdeen's four-goal away win moves them to seven points and sharply improves their goal difference, while Motherwell remain fifth on eight. Kilmarnock's first league win lifts them to four points; Falkirk's first win takes them to five. Hibernian remain on six after their home defeat.
Those games also change recovery. Six clubs play again on Saturday after a four-day turnaround, while Celtic and Rangers meet one week after their cup derby. Those verified results replace the old 9 September table as the most relevant form snapshot for these predictions.

ScoreSocial fixture predictions
Jim reviewed and froze these editorial-score-v3.2 recommendations on 16 September 2026. The percentages describe the home/draw/away result view, while the exact score is a narrower editorial selection. Most calls remain low confidence because the season is young.
| Fixture | Predicted score | Evidence and confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Dundee v Motherwell | 2-1 | Model: H 41% / D 34% / A 25% · low confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
| Hibernian v Aberdeen | 1-0 | Model: H 44% / D 35% / A 21% · low confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
| St Johnstone v Falkirk | 1-0 | Model: H 45% / D 35% / A 20% · medium confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
| St Mirren v Dundee United | 2-1 | Model: H 44% / D 34% / A 22% · low confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
| Kilmarnock v Heart of Midlothian | 1-2 | Model: H 8% / D 31% / A 61% · low confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
| Celtic v Rangers | 1-0 | Model: H 47% / D 35% / A 18% · medium confidence. The reviewed v3.2 distribution leads this exact score; thin early-season evidence keeps the call cautious. |
Every score is now part of the public prediction record and must not be changed after the first kickoff.
Injuries and availability
No unverified absence has been converted into a numerical input. Readers should check official club updates and the in-app card before the deadline; late team news can change the practical risk without changing this frozen public record.
What the evidence suggests for predictors
The result percentages are more informative than the exact score alone. A low-confidence 2-1 is a narrow choice inside a broad range of plausible outcomes. Use the published probabilities to see where a fixture has a clearer direction and where the draw remains close.
Injuries and availability
No verified league-wide availability update was available at the prediction review time. Cup selections from 11–13 September and club press conferences closer to the league round need a fresh check before the final preview. Named absences will be included only when confirmed by the SPFL or a club. Postponed fixtures are excluded from the prediction record and its accuracy totals.
What matters for predictors
- Do not treat the 9 September table as the final pre-round table; three catch-ups come first.
- Celtic–Rangers has a cup meeting one week earlier, but that result is context rather than a reusable score.
- Motherwell, Aberdeen, Hibernian, Kilmarnock, Hearts and Falkirk face shorter recovery.
- St Mirren–Dundee United currently carries the clearest home-position advantage outside the derby.
